700 flights later....

A place to converse about the general aspects of flight simulation in New Zealand

Postby AlisterC » Fri Sep 20, 2013 10:21 pm

Thought this might be an interesting share. I know you guys mostly fly NZ skies, and for yourselves, but I have almost always flown for virtual airlines. My current virtual airline I joined in July 2010, and I have just completed 700 flights. The latest was Houston to London in the United Airlines 787-800. That plane was only dream when I started simming lol. So yeah, I really do get around, and my current VA lets me do that. Well over 700 airlines to fly, and thousands of airports and airframe variations. I enjoy exploring for a month or two, then virtually fly home for a bit of local time, before heading overseas again. Do check us out if you feel like something new for your simming. With Phoenix you can fly ANZ, Qantas, Soundsair, Virgin Australia, Air Pacific, Air Vanuatu, Jetstar and so on... all the locals are there plus 500 more you've never heard of biggrin.gif
Regards,
Alister

My word - and neatly logged too!
That looks to be about to the moon and back...

So what's your favourite tubeliner of all time?

I have flown 1,350,000km in that map (straight line distances between airports) - the moon is a mere 384,400km away laugh.gif

Favourite airliner for me is pretty hard to decide upon, I do like them all. But out of those 700, 114 of them are the 737-800 - that answer could then speak on my behalf somewhat.
757-200, A320 and 767-300 all sit on about 80 flights each after that.
Cheers guys

Fingers crossed someday Virgin Galactic will fly me there! Might have to spend my retirement fund to get there though. Oh well, when it's time to go, walking on the Moon, looking back at Earth, pull my helmet off and lights out. Could be worse
Oh dear, that's the early morning talking...
